Serves: 4 bowls
Protein: ~30–40g per bowl

Ingredients

Base

2 cups low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese (small curd)

4 large eggs

½ cup vanilla protein powder (whey or casein works best)

½ cup rolled oats (or oat flour)

1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Fruit

1½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Greek yogurt

Almond butter or peanut butter

Extra blueberries

Lemon zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or 4 ramekins.

Blend cottage cheese until smooth (this makes it cheesecake-like).

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, then mix in blended cottage cheese.

Add protein powder, oats, sweetener, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until smooth.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Pour into baking dish or divide into ramekins.

Bake 30–35 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden.

Cool slightly before serving (it firms up as it rests).
